In an awkward interview with Jared Leto over at Variety, which you can watch here, Leto was asked about whether we would see him in the upcoming movie Birds of Prey. Leto replies, “I don’t think so. You’ll have to ask them.”
We’ve been told all along that he would not be in it, but that sounded like kind of a cryptic response. It seems like he would have just said a straightforward no, so that’s odd. We did see set photos featuring Joker but his face is strategically covered in all of them.
Then the interviewer, Marc Malkin, asked if he would be up for playing the joker again in a future film. Leto replied, “I would definitely play the Joker again. It all depends on the script and the circumstances as it always does.”
Then Malkin gushed over how Leto’s joker is his favorite ever, then awkwardly mentioned the new Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix, and they talked about whether or not DC is successful, and Malkin gazed lovingly at Leto’s face, because, you know…
How do you think Leto’s joker measured up? Would you ever want to see him as the Joker again?
